I have found that moving the plugs downstream to fast is easy to do. I work my plugs slowly, very slowly down through the hole. If you go to fast the fish will move aside and let it by. Make sure your plug is running true (not left or right but straight). You can adjust (tune) them if they are not. Run your plugs the same distance out, not staggered. Plugs are built to annoy the fish not make them hungry, to make them aggressive. Hope this helps
